Life Is Easier With Technology!
I always wonder what will happen to humanity if we never discovered technology. Maybe we are still communicating through telegram or through sending pigeons lol. We might be still traveling through our feet to get to one point. It will take us days or weeks before we arrived.
But still, there are people who are not fond of technology due to different beliefs. I watched this video on YouTube before about the Amish people. The hardcore Amish is not allowed to use technology or any form of Science. They live away from civilization and have their own community. In the end, we cannot force people to do something. We just have to respect their beliefs.
Thank you, sponsors! Thank you, @Eylz2021 for renewing the sponsorship!
These are the instances that I really said "WOW!" because of technology.
Let's start!
1) We can explore outer space.
There is a video, a "Karen" video in particular that he is saying that the government, specifically, the US government, is wasting money on space exploration. And in that video, someone corrected him. The US government only spent 1% on the total budget for NASA. For me, it is important to explore the unknown. To know where the universe came from. From studying the universe, we will uncover more about life and existence. I think it is not a waste of money because it will benefit our generation and the next generation. It is about knowledge and humanity.
2) We can the best medicines as of this moment.
Before, the life span of a person 10000 is only 25 to 30 years old? You can read about it more at this link. Life before is so short because they have different plagues, diseases, and unknown medical conditions that they cannot cure due to lack of knowledge. It is difficult to see someone in pain or dying without a cure. I am so happy that I live in the 21st century because we have the best technology to deliver the best medicines to cure diseases and treat life-threatening sicknesses. We have the chance to live long. For me, if I reach 100 years old, I can say that I truly made it haha!
3) We can exchange messages and do video calls.
The advent of texting really struck me when I was in elementary. My parents use the phones with keypads to text. This is the first memory of mine about virtual messaging. Now, we can surf the next on our phones. Before have to spend more to connect to the internet. Now we can surf the net at a lesser cost. We can see our loved ones live on our screen through video calls. This is perfect for people with loved ones that are away from them.
4) We can cut travel time.
Before, our ancestors travel through donkeys, boats, wagons, or by foot. The travel time is long and very exhausting because they are exerting much effort. Thanks to technology, we can travel faster and more efficiently today. For example, if I want to go to Japan, I will book a flight. It will only take me 3 hours to go to Japan. If I were in the early times, I will be freaking rowing a boat for weeks before I arrive in Japan. See, technology is very useful!
And lastly...
5) We have crypto!
Before I knew of crypto, I thought fiat can only be a currency of a country. You can only have a valuable coin if it is a part of an economy. Nope, now I discovered crypto, everything has changed. I am more in favor of decentralization. I am pro to being transparent in every transaction. I am just hoping that people with adapt to this system, especially the government here in the Philippines. I know it will not be easy for some but I will still be hoping that this will have a mass adaption.
Final Thoughts
Technology is yet the best thing happened to the world, but also the worst. Technology brought so much knowledge. But this knowledge should be used in bad things. For example, creating powerful military things such as atomic bombs, firearms, etc. Let us make of it a good thing. Do not abuse what technology can help humanity.
